Assuming that you already have MySQL installed,
Install the connector driver. :
yum install libmysql-javaThen make sure that the classpath is set.
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jarIf you want to set this for all users, you should modify the
/etc/environmentinstead
If you are using Eclipse, you can also do this by going through the following steps:
- Select
Project Properties > Java Build Path - Select Libries tab
- Click Add External Jars
- Choose the jar file, in this case
mysql-connector-java.jar

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar this is actually a one liner where you set the CLASSPATH and export it – sudheesh shetty Mar 19 '15 at 08:43

Download my-sql-conneector from here. Since you are working in fedora go fro tar.gz one http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/3.1.html extract it and set classpath by changing the path in the above mentioned command eg:export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:

The classpath environment is almost never used, except for the simplest of application (and not when you for example use an IDE). – Mark Rotteveel Mar 19 '15 at 20:56
